This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, join the fight against breast cancer by educating yourself on preventionand detection methods. Recently, we launched our “More Than Pink” campaign and rallied supporters to take action by making a bigger and bolder impact – to show us they are More Than Pink™. Today, Komen represents more than just a color; it represents finding a cure for breast cancer and creating a world where families don’t have to bear the traumatic loss of a grandmother, mother, niece, aunt, daughter or sister to this aggressive and heartbreaking disease.

Almost everyone has been connected to breast cancer in some way and knows the devastating impact this disease can have on a loved one and his/her family. In the United States alone:

In 2016, nearly 250,000 cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women and 2,500+ in men

Every two minutes, one women is diagnosed with breast cancer

In 2016, 40,000+ womenandnearly 450 men are expected to die from breast cancer
